Fingers crossed that the American public can see through the smears that she’s already being subjected to. The fact that she’s being targeted so quickly, means she’s seen as a threat to the establishment. Fu**ing right![Edited 2/12/19 7:03am]

I liked what I read about her at first but her appearance on "Morning Joe" was a disaster. We'll have to see where she goes from here but I now put her towards the bottom of my Desirable Democratic Candidates list.

Did you actually watch Morning Joe or are you going by the reports ABOUT the show...?

She made that Katy Hunt look like an idiot..in the nicest possible way...

First of all, it's Kacie Hunt, not "Katy".

And I did watch it - live, as it was happening. I cringed when she wouldn't answer the questions.

Seems to be something to do with the "time_continue" bit of the YouTube URL. If you delete everything between the '?' and the '&', it works. You can also just include the 11-character YouTube ID at the end of the URL.

I thought she did pretty well against an awful lot of insinuation and hostility in that interview. It's a striking feature of our times, now that a political space to the left of the Clintonite Democrats (or Blair's 'New Labour' in Britain), that the gloves really are off in media outlets that previously sought to court a left-wing audience. (See The Guardian or Channel 4 News's coverage of Jeremy Corbyn in the UK for a further example.) I've found it quite shocking - though immensely revealing - to watch over the past few years, if I'm honest. A 'teachable moment' for the Left, if ever there was one.

It’s amazing how the left and right of America can unite so quickly over one thing - war. Challenge militaristic imperial tendencies like Tulsi is doing and then BOOM, you’re the enemy to both sides. AMAZING. Those people on that morning show are total puppets and demonstrate zero journalistic credibility. They are a total fucking joke. These “news” shows are just a continuation of Hollywood. Fake fronting alongside parroting of what’s said by the govt/corporate overlords. May as well be the Truman show.

This is what makes her a STaND OUT Candidate in my mind..

She DARES to challenge the establishment, and she does it so elegantly.

No name calling, in fact she is expert at sliding out of situations where she is baited to HATE on other candidates past and present...

She is smart and poised..

for the first time in my life I am actually interested in American Politics..

Tulsi Gabbard has been ony short list of people I'd like to see run for a couple years now and whole she and Bernie are the only ones I'd vote for this far, I think she's actually a more viable candidate than he is.

Let's hope the DNC doesn't pull the same shit they did last time and we end up getting a candidate that is a free win for Trump.

Yeah, hopefully we'll have a candidate that gets 5 MILLION more votes than the orange pig, and not just the 3 MILLION more votes that Hillary got.
